Analysis of the Crashworthiness of Novel Flax‐Fiber Hybrid Reinforced Three‐Dimensional Woven Composites

Polymer Composites, EarlyView.
Through‐thickness binder yarns in tailored three‐dimensional woven flax‐fiber composites stabilize damage propagation and promote progressive crushing, enhancing crashworthiness and energy absorption. ABSTRACT This study investigates the impact crashworthiness performance of flax‐fiber reinforced three‐dimensional (3D) composites through a ...

Role of Fiber Sizing in Interfacial Relaxation, Water Uptake and Fatigue Properties of Acrylic‐Matrix Composites

Polymer Composites, EarlyView.
Characterisation of glass fibre reinforced acrylic with acrylic‐tailored or multi‐compatible sizing agents. ABSTRACT Fiber‐reinforced infusible acrylic monomer resins are of interest as recyclable alternatives to epoxy and other thermoset resin composites, but the novelty of these resins causes published studies on acrylic‐matrix composites to often ...

Kinetics of ε‐Caprolactone Ring Opening Polymerization: Experimental and Modeling Study

Journal of Polymer Science, EarlyView.
We present a multi‐scale model for the ring‐opening polymerization of ε‐caprolactone to polycaprolactone (PCL), approximating final melt properties. We conducted batch experiments at various temperatures and reactant ratios. Using this data, we determined the kinetic parameters.

Experimental and Modeling Investigation of Seawater Hydrolysis Effects on Aramid Fiber Rupture Behavior

Journal of Polymer Science, EarlyView.
Hydrolytic aging in seawater produces markedly different mechanical responses among commercial Aramid fibers. While some fibers exhibit progressive degradation, others maintain stable or even improved tensile behavior. Experimental yarn‐scale testing combined with mathematical degradation modeling and Arrhenius‐based lifetime prediction provides new ...

Opposite Trends in Glass Transition and Vogel Temperatures in Long‐Chain Branched Poly(l‐Lactic Acid)

Journal of Polymer Science, EarlyView.
The glass transition temperature (Tg), as determined by conventional DSC, increases from 326 K to 329 K while the Vogel temperature (Tv) decreases from 271 K to 255 K as the number of branch points per molecule increases from 0 to 3.3. ABSTRACT Poly(l‐lactic acid) (PLLA) is widely used as both a commodity thermoplastic and for engineering applications,
